24 app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.0.3 contains this:
25
26 RDEPEND=">=app-admin/eselect-1.0_rc1
27 !>=app-admin/eselect-1.0.3"
28
29 This means that it requires eselect >= 1.0_rc1 but is blocked by eselect >=
30 1.0.3. eselect-1.0.3 was marked testing and eselect-opengl-1.0.3 is marked
31 stable. So either downgrade eselect to latest stable (1.0.2) or upgrade
32 eselect-opengl to latest testing (1.0.4).
33
34 I am a bit curious about how eselect-opengl is being pulled in so if you still
35 see the above output feel free to add --debug to the above command and mail
36 the output to me offlist. If you do that be sure to include the output of
37 `emerge --info` also.
